Description:
------------
When comparing strings of hexadecimal numbers, the latest PHP 7 seems to be checking for type. It does not do this for non-hex.

Test script:
---------------
http://3v4l.org/jjEJf

Expected result:
----------------
I expect results to be consistent with latest stable PHP and HHVM, i.e. all outputs in the above URL to be true.
